what am I to Do!

The symptoms of biliousness are un.
happily but too well known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent.
A bilious man is seldom breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time; if it is not white
and furred, it is rough at all events. The
digestive system is wholly out of order
and diarrhea or constipation may be a
symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often hemorrhoids or even loss
of blood. There may be giddiness and
OF headache and acidity or flatulence and
tenderness in the pit of the stomach. 10
correct all this, if not to effect a cure. try

file and thousands attest its eff cacy.

OBITUARY.

Died, in Poultney, VT, October 10,
1887, Samuel Bedding of Johnson,
aged 80 years and 6 days. Mr.. Bel
ding was born in Swazey, N. H., in
the vicinity of which place he passed
most of the first half of his life. Over
forty years ago he came to Northern
Vermont, and was in trade in the town
of Eden about 10 years, after which
he moved to johnson, where he has
resided for nearly thirty years. He
was a man always esteemed and re-
spected by his fellow townsmen, as
was Witnessed by the many offices OF
public trust and responsibility which
they elected him to fill. He was al
WAYS interested in educational work
and was for many years President of
the board of Trustees of the State
Normal School, and was lifelong
pillar of the NJ. E. church. His last
two years we're spent with his oldest
daughter, Mrs. Prof. Dunton at their
beautiful home on the grounds Of the
Troy Conference Academy, where
every attention that love and kind
ness could prompt has been lavished
on him through his weary months of
comparative helplessness. He was
twice married, his first wife being Miss
Eunice Dodge, of Littleton, N. H.
One son of that marriage, Delavan,
is still living near his fathers early
home. His second wife was Mrs
FlaVilla Waterman Downer, of John
son, who with four daughters, sur.
wives him. They are Mrs. Prof. Dun
ton, of Poultney, Mrs. Alfred Eaton
of Berlin, n. Y, and Misses Lucit
and Laura Bedding, both at presen
employed in the Troy Conference

THE DAY DONE.

The day is done and darkness
Falls upon the wings of night,
Asan aged soul from its earthly home
Upward takes its flight.
1t wings its silent way above.
Through the still and silent air,
Upward scars to realms on high,
To glorles waiting there.
The day of life is DER
And night sheds her sable pail &c..
Ger friends and kindred dear
As the deep, dark shadows fall.
Grim Angel Death has come,
And with his sickle keen,
ReapS the bearded grain at q breath,
With silent hand unseen.
Gathers it in to that harvest home
Where the day is never done.
With sheaves to lay at the Masters feet,
Where llfe's joys are just begun.
Grim Angel Death, thou'rt ever here,
Thy comIngs have no end,
Yet we cannot see why thou should'st take
Our father and our friend.
Yet we know life's work is surely DER
And that he'll hear "Well done''
Come tOndly from the Masters lips
AS Heavens golden shores are won.
'Twere folly, then, to bid him stay
In pain and sorrow here,
When joys immortal and a crown
Await him over there.
And friends and loved ones just beyond
Stand waiting on the shore,
To welcome him with otustretched hands
Where partings are no more.
Rest sweetly, aged pilgrim, then,
Heavens Buildings are all best,
With fondest love we humbly bow
And close thine eyes TO rest.
At the weekly class meeting of the
johnson M. E. church, held Oct. 10,
the following resolutions were adop
ted:
WHEREAs,-It has pleased Him in
whose hands are the issues of life and
death, to transfer our dear brother, Hon.
Samuel Bedding, from the toiling ranks
of His church on earth to that great com
pany who are without fault before His
throne, therefore,
ResolUed,-By the class of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church of johnson, of
which he was for many years faithful
leader, that we recognize in our de-
ceased brother an earnest Christian, who
honored the church by life long fidelity
to its interests, who bore its burdens
cheerfully and spared not himself when
he might be helpful to others. ~
Resolved, -That while we sadly. miss
from our ranks this father in Israel, yet
we will hold in grateful remembrance his
abundant labors among us, and take to
our hearts the consolation that be has
gone to his eternal reward like shock of
grain fully ripe for the garner.
ResolUed,-That to the bereaved family
who in other days have shared our joys
and sorrows, we now extend our tender
est sympathy, commenting them to Him
who will not leave them comfortless.
ResotUed,-That copy of these resolu-
tons be forwarded to the family of the
deceased and also to the NEWS AND CIT
IzEN for publication.

BABY,s BANK ACCOUNT.

You, of course, know all about what the
little fellow has cost, and know what he
is likely to cost, not only in dollars and
cents, but in wakeful, watchful hours
and anxieties innumerable. But, after
awhile, the now costly baby will require
not only schooling but business educa-
ton and a foundation upon which to
stand in the great money getting world.
While you sit by the darling's cradle is
the time 20 thoughtfully mature your
plans for the future. There are SO many
little trifles bought for baby that might be
dispensed with and the money allowed to
fGl how nice sum may repose in one of
the many savings fund institutions by
just little forethought and economy. A
mayor in a Southern city gave on Satur-
day evenings to his four little daughters
all the dimes he happened to have in his
pocket. A lady of my acquaintance
saved all her gold pieces for her son, de-
posting them in the bank to his credit,
she acting as trustee. Another lady,
having small house renting for eight
dollars month, put the sum to her chill
dren's account in the savings fund and
carefully refrained from using any of it.
l know Of many instances of well-to do
parents who are faithfully laying up for
the children, and that in small, matter
of-fact way which would astonish many
with whom they mingle in society. A
pencil and paper and half hour or less
spent in calculating the possible accumu-
lation of even twenty dollars year for
twenty years will show what can be
DONE
L had this winter in my employ as
nurse a widow with little girl. She
came in great distress of mind to me one
day in reference to her money matters.
Her husband, coachman, had had from
his employer each year gift of fifty dol
lors, which, with other earnings, had been
deposited in bank to the credit of the
child. The father and trustee died, and
the woman, in ignorance Of how to pro-
coed, had been for three years unable to
obtain any of the interest for the child.
The sum had accumulated until the in
terest would clothe the little girl. had
the pleasure of securing faithful guar
dian for the child and relieving the poor
woman's mind of much anxiety, she hav-
ing supposed the sum could not be
touched until the little girl was of age.
This woman carries small insurance for
the child, SO in case of the mothers death
the child could be comfortably cared
for without the extreme poverty which
she would have save for the savings of a
few years ON the part of the father.

THE NEW YEAR.
o New Year, teach is faithl

ONew Year, teach is faithl
The road of life is hard;
When our feet bleed and scourging winds us
seattle,
Point thou to him whose visage was more
marred
Than any mans; who saith,
MAKE straight paths for your feet" and to
the oppressed,
:" Come ye to me, and will give you rest"
Yet hang some lamp-like hope
Above the unknown way,
Kind year, to give our spirits freer scope,
And our hands strength to work while 1t is
day.
But if that way must slope
Tombward. oh, bring before our fading eyes
The lamp of life, the hope that never dies
Comfort our souls with love-
Love of all human kind
Love special. close, in which, like sheltered
dove,
Each weary heart its own safe nest may find !;
And love that turns above
Adoringly; contented to resign
All loves, if need be, for the love divine.
Friend, come thou like friendi
And whether bright thy face,
Or dim with clouds we cannot comprehend
Wen hold out patient hands, each in his
place,
And trust thee to the end,
Knowing thou leadest onward to those
spheres
Where there are neither days, nor months,
nor wears.

For well paid intellectual work good

For well paid intellectual work good
education is naturally of the first neces-
sity, and the base on which all the rest is
founded. Wherefore the higher educa-
ton has been organized more as a prac-
tical equipment than as an outcome OF
the purely intellectual desire OF women
10 learn where they have nothing to gain
by it. For all this, many girls go TO Cir
ton and Newman who do not mean to
practically profit by their education =
girls who want to escape from the narrow
limits of the home, and who yearn after
the quasi independence of college life
girls to whom the unknown is emphat-
ically the magnificent, and who desire
novelty before all things; with the rem.
nant of the purely studious-those who
love learning for it's own sake only, in
dependent of gain, kudos, freedom or
novelty. But these are the women who
would have studied as ardently, and with
less strain, in their own homes; who
would have taken longer time over
their education, and would not have hurt
their health and drained their vital ener-
gies by doing in two or three years what
should have taken five or six; who would
have gathered with more deliberations
not spurred by emulation nor driven by
competition; and who, with energy super
added to their love of knowledge, would
have made the Mrs. Somervilles or Car
oline Herschels, the Miss Burneys or
Harriet Martin eaus, Of history. But such
women are not many; voluntary devotion,
irrespective of self-interest, to art, litera-
ture, science, philosophy, being one Of
the rarest accidents in the history of
women-as, indeed, must needs be if they
are to fulfill the national functions of
their sex.--Popular Science Monthly

ONE USE OF BIRTHDAYS.

You know that birthdays are the days
that our friends remember and tell us
they do, by sending us presents. Now,
these presents should always mean this:
81 send you this, to tell you how glad I
am that you were born. You have made
me happier because you live in this
world" wonder if we are all trying to
make our friends feel this.
There is blue eyed little girl living
not a thousand miles from New York,
who calls her birthdays "worth days."
She is so sweet and lovable that every
day che lives is "worth day" to those
about her. We can all make our days
"worth days" to our friends, each day
richer and more happy because we live
here, if we try.
There are different ways of celebrating
our birthdays, but those that are most to
be desired are thanksgiving birthdays.
Last winter there was such pretty birth
day celebration not far from Boston that
I know you will enjoy hearing about it.
The little girl was twelve years old. She
had been receiving presents and birthday
letters all day. When night came and
the family were all at dinner-a dinner
prepared especially to suit this little girl
she came into the dining room carry
ing tray on which we're number of
paper parcels, neatly tied. Each parcel
had on it white card, with the name of
some member of the family, and con-
tanned q gift. These she gave to each
one, to remember her birthday by, che
said, and had been purchased by saving
her own pocket money. That certainly
was pretty way of keeping a birthday.
Giving, you will find, makes you just as
happy as receiving, and sometimes more
happy. In small Sunday-school room
in New York State there is a pretty
money jug standing on the desk. On
the Sunday after each teachers and
scholars birthday they put into the jug
penny for each year they have lived.
Johnny, who is five years old brings five
pennies; Johnny's father, who is thirty
eight years old, brings thirty eight pen
MES, one for each year. This money
goes to the missionary society of the
church.
These pennies must be thank offerings.
You might try it in your family. Have
money jug on the dining-room mantel,
and use the pennies to buy Christmas
presents for some one who would not
have any Christmas if you did not re-
member him. Call the jug, "The Birth
day jug. Christian Union.

A BOY GROWN UP.

Young people rarely realize, when crit
icizing their elders, that the traits or habits
that seem to them obnoxious were form
ed in early life. IL their manners are
rude, if they lack tact, il they are not
we'll informed, it is because they have
not made use of their opportunities.
Manners are the truest indications OF
character. A discourteous person is
both careless and selfish, for the best
manners are but the expression of the
golden rule; they are the card OF intro
duction to strangers. A friend can in
troduce you to good society but he cannot
keep you there; that depends on yourself
A boy of kindly nature is rarely rude
A boy of selfish nature is polite only
when his own desires are not interfered
with. Every man is the result of his own
boyhood and youth. II he has read
good books, kept himself informed OF
passing events, he becomes what the
world terms we'll informed, intelligent
man. If he has wasted his time in trihing
conversation, read only sensational books
and papers, neglected to develop the tai
ent which he surely possesses, he be-
comes a superficial, tiresome, if not
wicked man.
If AS boy he has not cultivated the
graces and amenities of life, he cannot
expect to become that most delightful Of
men. a polished gentleman. If as boy
he has not studied to avoid collisions
with those around him, has not recognize
ed the rights of others, has not cultivated
desire to lead men to higher motives, to
give to others the benefit Of his own OPP
portunities, he becomes that most unfor-
tunate person, a tactless man "a nui-
sance wherever people are brought to-
gether. One Of the lessons every boy can
learn is to watch those men who arouse
adverse criticism, and carefully avoid
their habits, both of mind and body. Re-
member the old adage, "By others faults
correct your own" Christian Union.

THE FIRST TURNPIKES.

In the time Of Charles III. restrictions
were laid on the weight of carriages and
their contents by limiting the number of
cattle by which they might be drawn;
power was given to raise an assessment
for the repairs Of the roads, and the plan
of imposing tolls began to be adopt
ed. From this time we begin to hear OF
turnpikes, and as time went on turnpike
acts were passed and turnpike roads be-
gan to be talked about. With increased
traffic and better roads, the stage wagon
replaced the packhorse in the conveyance
of merchandise-the huge tilted wagon,
that survived till railway times, with its
six or eight sleek horses, the smart wag-
oner riding his cob by the side Of it,
hourishing his long cartwhip, as the road
wound through undulating ground with
cornields and pastures, still mostly unin-
closed, and by ways branching off with
way posts at the junction pointing to
some village whose spire shows over the
hillside. In the year 1867 the system of
collecting tolls was extended to the great
roads in all directions, and the customary
statute labor was appropriated entirely
to the cross or country roads. This date
marks the beginning of the era of stage
coaches, and the full development Of an
organized system of posting from stage
to stage along the public roads. From
this time the roads of England began to
rouse the wonder and envy of other ma
tions. In France, especially, just before
the revolutionary era, the roads we're ex-
ecrable, and the few public conveyances
clumsy and badly horsed. Everything
had to give way to the equipages of the
grand seigneurs, and the starving peas
antry were dragged from their sloppy
fields to draw the gilded coach of the
marquis or count out of the quagmires
of the public road.
